thoughts, knowledge and well balanced education. Our faculty
and staff are periodically trained and professionally
developed to keep pace with the changing environment in
which they operate and provide our students with the latest
academic trends.
Our Philosophy
Our philosophy is based on three pillars
characterized by Quality-Excellence, Value-based approach
and holistic view.
The quality excellence is exemplified by the academic area
which relies heavily on strong academic performance
provided by well selected teachers and staff. This
excellence spills over students’ experience, research
and teaching, faculty and staff support in addition to
communication.
The values-based approach is apparent via the students’
character; students at Saint – Georges are developed and
nurtured holistically to realize their full potential.
The holistic view is revealed by the extra-curricular
activities which provide a plethora of opportunities to be
seized by students based on the belief that such
activities shape and build the positive attitude of our
students and put the real world in perspective. This
contributes to putting the theoretical framework into
practice.
In addition to these pillars we are committed to the
following in our educational approach:
Fostering the moral values of students in an environment
characterized by its diversity
Providing dedicated, passionate and qualified principals
and teachers
Cultivating respect for the environment and all its
resources
Helping students to exercise their full potential through
empowerment and working on their potential
Emphasizing on analytical and creative thinking as a means
to preparing students to the workplace and life.
Producing students proficient in English-the lingua franca
of our world- while enhancing our students’ verbal and
nonverbal communication skills.
Cultivating the concept of social responsibility by
showing responsibility to all our stakeholders.
Cultivating cooperation, teamwork, good health, emotional
stability and maturity and encouraging interest in sports,
games, clubs and social activities.
Building the capacity of our faculty and staff via
continuous training and development to maintain their core
competencies and keep their knowledge updated in a fast
pace moving world.
Preparing students to be great leaders and positive
contributors to their communities and the whole world.
Focusing on and engaging in critical contemporary issues
Our Vision
Lucid vision for quality excellence,
distinction in teaching and education and being recognized
as an inspiration beacon in our community by preparing
citizens who are academically rounded and socially
responsible.
Our vision aligns with rapid shifts in the global economy,
society, and environment, which animate our mission and
our values:
Creativity, innovation, and a desire to challenge the
status quo, both in what and how we teach and in the
intellectual ambitions of the School itself.
Social engagement, orienting students' academic experience
to help them become critically engaged citizens dedicated
to solving problems and contributing to the public good.
This comes as a consequence to the act that Saint Georges
School itself has a sense of citizenship in its community
and obligation towards its primary and secondary
stakeholders.
Saint Georges School embraces these principles and
innovates to address shifts in the global economy,
society, and environment that require individuals to
grapple with complex problems, pursue more fluid and
flexible career pathways, and collaboratively create
change.
Our Mission
To serve humanity and make the world a better place to live in via providing a holistic educational system that nurtures innovative future leaders capable of seizing all the opportunities and facing the uncertainties and challenges of our lives.
